Top Tips:
- Choose the Right Cover Material:
Choose clear or frosted covers to showcase a title page or printed card stock for a sophisticated finish. - Page Orientation and Size:
Ensure your document is properly formatted to A4 (210mm x 297mm). - Page Margins:
Leave enough space on the bound side (at least 20mm) to avoid the spine pinch cutting into important text or images. For double-sided printing, your bound margin will be on the left edge for odd pages and the right edge for even pages. - Document Thickness:
Confirm the total page count to match the appropriate binding spine width for optimal results. - Plan for Finishing Time:
Allow extra time for heat-sealed binding, especially for larger orders or custom specifications, to meet your deadline without rush. Coloured spines can take over a week to arrive from Europe.
